I've had offers from The Law Centre and CA to represent me at tribunal. Who should I pick?

I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from The Law Centre offering to represent me at a Tribunal. They've recommend a face to face one. Late in the day I also had the Citizens Advice say they would represent me (originally they said they couldn't do it). They've recommend a phone conference tribunal at the office. I now don't know who to go with. CA know my case and have represented me before and I am considering a phone tribunal as it will take perhaps a year for a face to face one. What should I do?

@TeddyB22 if the ca know you and they can do a phone tribunal maybe you should stick with the ca
The choice is yours though -
As things stand all assessments and tribunals are being done by telephone, there is nothing yet to suggest that will change anytime soon, and when it does there will be a backlog. As to who to go with that has to be entirely your decision.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

I'd go for the law centre... But maybe my past experiences of CA has swayed that!
I don't think it's worth waiting for the face to face though, would they allow you the telephone one instead? -
@OverlyAnxious you would have to ask the law center

@OverlyAnxious the law center gives advice over the phone and face time if that's any help I just looked on line
